Title	Transit when planets cross the sun: When Planets Cross the Sun
Author(s)	Michael Maunder
Publication	London, Springer-Verlag, 2000.
Description	viii, 164p.
Series	(Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
Abstract Note	Although transits of planets across the Sun are rare (only Mercury and Venus orbit the Sun closer than us, and so can transit the Sun's disc) amateur astronomers can observe, record and image other kinds of transit, which are very much more frequent. Transit is in two parts, the first telling the fascinating story of the early scientific expeditions to observe transits. The second part is for practical observers, and explains how to observe transits of all sorts - even transits of aircraft as they fly between the observer and the Sun!

Title	Guide to eclipses, transits, and occultations
Author(s)	David H. Levy
Publication	Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2010.
Description	vi, 177p.
Abstract Note	In this simple guide, David Levy inspires readers to experience the wonder of eclipses and other transient astronomical events for themselves. Covering both solar and lunar eclipses, he gives step-by-step instructions on how to observe and photograph eclipses. As well as explaining the science behind eclipses, the book also gives their historical background, discussing how they were observed in the past and what we have learned from them. This personal account contains examples from the 77 eclipses the author has witnessed himself. The guide also includes chapters on occultations of stars and planets by the Moon and of asteroids by stars, and the transits of Mercury and Venus. Tables of future eclipses make this invaluable for anyone, from beginners to practised observers, wanting to learn more about these fascinating events.
